” Yet nothing else individual, and absolutely no white individual, has actually ever before formerly been prosecuted under the White-Slave Web traffic Substitute employing male companions from one more State,” defense lawyer Alexandra Shapiro and Marc Agnifilo created. “Mr. Combs has actually been selected since he is an effective black male, and he is being prosecuted for conduct that routinely goes unpunished. Count 3 need to be disregarded since this is a clear situation of discerning prosecution.”
The declaring claimed previous New york city Gov. Eliot Spitzer, that was connected to a hooking ring in 2008, “took part in comparable conduct yet were never ever billed under the Act.”

” Several pairs, consisting of rich top-level pairs, entail 3rd parties in their sex-related connections, often for implied or specific commission,” the declaring claimed. “No government district attorney, in this area or any type of various other, has actually targeted the firm, its chief executive officer, or its companions. Neither has any type of district attorney formerly targeted any type of client that acquired companion solutions from Cowboys 4 Angels.”
